Maputo — Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi has expressed interest in seeing Italy finance the Programme for Resilience and Integrated Development of the Northern Region (PREDIN) which aims to promote the recovery of basic conditions for sustainable economic and social development of northern Mozambique, following the terrorism that has been plaguing parts of Cabo Delgado province. "The implementation of PREDIN requires financial resources and we are sure that Italy, always a friend of Mozambique, will play a crucial role", the president said. The experience, said Nyusi, shows that terrorism cannot be fought only with military operations. To complete the process, please follow the instructions in the email we just sent you. "We would like to express our deep appreciation to Italy, which has joined the European Union military training mission, placing itself once again at the side of Mozambique to combat a complex and transnational phenomenon: terrorism and violent extremism", said Nyusi.
